Review:

Everybody Loves Grace gives children of all ages wonderful strategies for moving through the major life events they will encounter. Learning to bring a hope-filled lens to life regardless of what happens is very important to creating the outcomes they desire. --Conscious Transformation Founder, Joey Klein

Everybody Loves Grace combines love, compassion and understanding in a heartwarming true story of Grace, as she interacts with people throughout her life, during some of the most challenging experiences of loss, change and uncertainty. Grace is my favorite kind of hero she has the superpower to just look into the eyes of any person and make them feel important. Grace's story gives children the courage to face life's most difficult situations, by knowing that there is kindness in the world and things will work out for the best. This is definitely a book for your keeper shelf in your classroom or home library. --Michelle Windmueller, Ph.D.

Change is difficult, which is why uplifting stories on transition are always welcome. Grace moves through life's changes with courage and optimism underpinned with a knowing confidence that she'll be fine on the other end of the challenge. As a senior military officer, I've seen first-hand the challenges children have moving every few years and living a life filled with change.  A must-read for children who experience fear or resistance to change in their lives. --Major General Stephen T. Denker, USAF (Retired)
